CHOKEHOLD: MIDNIGHT BALLERINA

Arnie's pov

........chirp chirp is all I keep hearing, I can't see anything clearly it all looks fuzzy and blurry. It all feels as the world lost it's balance and my intestines are afloat but, the lights keeps going off and on in my view.

I'll blame it all on the alcohol, it's girls night afterall but, any time the lights comes up I have the feels of nausea and bad memory pushed down that wants to peak back at the surface.

A young man with brown eyes with a lace of blue in it keeps his eyes on me. I can feel my clothes off my body with the concentration he has. It feels like a some of our pages had collided before but, I can't really remember anything with all this adrenaline flowing through my vains.

I hear the birds 'chirp chirp' but I'm in the city why do I keep hearing bird sounds. The hit of reality came like a blow.

" Arnie I'm taking me and, Sofie to the bathroom " hearing Bella voice had me opening up my eyes and, waking up my senses.

The smell of the alcohol, the nueasating smell of sweat, the noise echoes as each man jubilated with a lady on his lap and females giggling as males strippers grind on them clicking of glasses the faded and yet sometimes loud honks of car passing by as the pub was in a quiet ally. It isn't legal yet but society love illegal things.

Getting a little sober the light seems all put on at once now I feel like I'm going blind. As my senses are still high I can still feel the ensuating piercing gaze of the brown eyes laced with blue man really young man he's so beautiful instead staring make a move If I should make any funny movement, all I see is myself all on the floor with the spills of alcohol here and there.

B'buzz buzz' a faint sound in my head is heard bring a splitting head ache I feel like pouring everything I had out I can feel the bitterness of the drinks I took.

Such a beautiful man it feels like it the both of us are alone is this room the busy noise and light and, people are all fading away he's beautiful eyes stripping me slowly taking off my clothing off piece by piece taking and appreciating my body so desiringly so lovingly so peaceful and calm as if there nothing in this world more beautiful make my feel things down in between my legs squizing them together only made it worse all my thoughts are muddled up maybe I should be heading home as my friends did. (getting up is one of my minor problems as I'm still in trance ) a sudden tap startled me and, broke my trance and, made me leap. Seeing it was my manager " Arnie you can go home now here is your made cash for mounting the poll and, that of your friends you did good " saying this he left as if he was in an hurry. A bottle of water which was on the table untouched in front of me I took it and, drank it to calm myself. Still trying to figure if the beautiful man was still here my eyes scanned every corner guess he had left...

Finally leaving the pub a car park which was behind the pub with no lights but then a beam of light flashes at my eyes it was a car's. Watching him step out of the car so eligantly made me remember someone I hated taking a sharp turn from his direction to head out if I could still get a taxi by this time of the night....

"Arnie!"

Hearing my name caught me by surprise doubt raised in my mind what if he's not familiar but, a former accquintance but, from where?. My drunk mind made it difficult and, I was feeling levitated the ground looked so calm and calling....

He noticed this and, says " your name was mentioned on stage " a long pause was taken after this I could really hear the silence " you could come with me I don't bite, except you want me too"...

I would love him too do that but why I do I feel strange? I never really felt this way.

" okay " I wonder why didn't exitate before saying yes I hope he takes me over to his place I just want him to devour me. I can see the list written all over his face. I noticed he was doing exactly what I hoped for secretly silently and shamelessly.

Taking a sharp turn which caught me by surprise. And and jacked me forward but surprisingly he caught me. His hands subconsciously separated me and my boobs from the wind screen

Getting to his residence I didn't have the time to take in how beautiful it was as we but moved hurriedly due to our high libido. Fully in his room self aware of everything this that's happening we both made no attempt of uttering a single word we let our eyes speak to each other about passion we could both see the list in each other's eyes.

Deciding to sit on the floor, which was stupid of me he questioned me and then later joined me in the sitting asked him to put off the light I was about to go blind the bright light looked like those peeky blinders where by they show in movies when time was up for the person on earth.

Sitting opposite each other and staring into our souls it felt so good I didn't know when I moved towards him.........

I drew him toward me with my eyes, he inclined his face toward mine and lay my mouth on his mouth, which was like a freshly split-open fig. For a long time he kissed me, and I was filled with deep astonishment. Breathing deeply, he remained sitting and at this moment he was like a child astonished by the abundance of passion I was willing to give to him and he was will to be apart of worthy learning experience opening up before his eyes.

My heart beats faster and faster as Arnie's beautiful face came up to mine. I knew that when I kiss this girl I would be obsessed, and forever wed my unutterable visions to her perishable breath, my mind would never romp again like the mind of Gold. So I waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning fork that had been struck upon a star. Then she kissed me. At my lips' touch she blossomed like a flower and the incarnation was complete.........

It felt so dream like. In the shadows her face was so close to mine that I could smell the sweet ropy fragrance of the sherry she had been drinking, and then her tongue was in my mouth. In all truth I had not invited this prodigy of a tongue; turning, I had merely wished to look at her face, expecting only that the expression of aesthetic delight I might find there would correspond to what I knew was my own. But I did not even catch a glimpse of her face, so instantaneous and urgent was that tongue. Plunged like some writhing sea-shape into my gaping maw, it all but overpowered my senses as it sought some unreachable terminus near my uvula; it wiggled, it pulsated, and made contortive sweeps of my mouth's vault: I'm certain that at least once it turned upside down. Dolphin-slippery, less wet than rather deliciously mucilaginous and tasting of Amontillado, it had the power in itself to force me, or somehow get me back, against a doorjamb, where I lolled helpless with my eyes clenched shut, in a trance of tongue.......

All I could hear are muddled up words and sighed coming out from both our mouths my hands at the brisk of her hips holding her firmly as if she was going to escape or run and flee for her life.

Helping her up from the position we were both sitting now we're apparently staring at each other words are not needed for altercation to know what we both want to do to each other.

I move towards the direction of my mattress I take off my shirt loss the buckle of my belt the silence was loud a could hear every move I made the clicking sound of my belt instead of pulling off my pants I take a alt and then watch her slip out the black silky gown she had on then a cream lingerie which is contradictory to her aura it gives her a soft naughty girl asthetic aura. And I'm so in for it......

Arnie's pov

Taking off my gown in his presence was exzanurating the way his looking at me as if I held the whole world in my hands, making me feel like an exhibition of class a breath of fresh air and taking in only toxins for years I couldn't get my thoughts in a single cloud it was all muddled up. I can see I'm having the same effect on him I'm happy I'm clear on the alcohol and sure of what I'm doing...

I won't be able to look at myself the same after this I'm scared and excited at the same time my fucking first time with an adjacent stranger who I feel seems familiar because of the aura he gives....

All the doubting thomas's in me are quite quiet this moment when I need them to castigate me if I really want to do this but here I am standing in front of him awkward. Does he not like my lingerie set I found the color cute and I love to feel like a soft sexy princesses I changed my lingerie after mounting the pole because we're two different person's....

I don't have the same audacity and confidence that Arnie has...

" I love the color it looks marvellous on you " he says to me bringing out of my thoughts his voice is all headgy and husky I can hear his need his want it makes me feel so powerful....

" are you scared if you don't want to don't " his voice trails off in a whisper..

" I do I've just not done this before " I say looking at him but then immediately casts my head down straining my eyes at the direction of my feet..

" Arnie your so pretty, it's an honor being your first time that's if you want to carry on........... "

Do I want to carry on ( hell yeah I do )

" will it hurt? "....

" I won't lie to you it will but you'll like it after.....? "

" okay, but what is your name ".....

" Williams does that ring a bell Arnie " watching him step closer with his tie in his hand no shirt on the belt of his trousers unbuckled around his waist had me in short of words instead of feeling or falling at the state of shock.

All my nerves goes double erratic on me that's why ever single time he comes to the pub when I'm mounting and I feel a tie pulling us together.

I should be mad why didn't he tell he was the one but I feel excited he's the one

" Williams"... "you look taller "

" you look lovely Arnie " he states picking up my both hands he places a soft kiss on each finger " I missed you "....

" I missed you too "

" I can't believe all these years " " look at you now looking so lovely as ever, your dark caramel honey glowing skin "

" how have you been "

" in need, I missed you so much " listening to him repeating this like a mantra ignites something in me I don't think I've ever experienced before

His eyes boring into my eyes he closes the little gap that's between us and his clone intoxicated me like a drug he smells so good. Peeking up I notice him staring continuously at me with out batting an eye lid. I want he to devour me, I want to jump on him but I don't want to look so wanton.

Williams pov

Peeking up at me. I want to devour her but I don't want to rush the savioratory moments I want to relish time like it will never end. I just want to bask in the glory of her presence......

" Arnie "

" hmmmmm " I can see the doubt in her eyes and loss of confidence in her stance. Moving back I give us a little space before an atom of time moves my lips are her crushing and devouring each of our souls relishing every minute and moment like a savatory food......

Breathing my soul into hers. I can tell she has little to no experience but she's trying to catch up with me reciprocating the passion, desire...

Picking her up in a swift movement she locks her legs around my waist, twists her finger and tangles her hands in my hair my hand firmly kneeding her behind and the other trailing along her back.

" Arnie "

Dropping her slowly on the bed I crouch and take off her shoe's. She's watching my moves vaguely and her hear her breathy and soft voice.

" Did you miss me Arnie? " she answers" your hair got and grew longer I thought you wanted a buzz cut "

" I did and I got one for years after you disappeared " saying this I kneel near her which made the center of the bed dip with both our pressure suddenly out of the sphere I ask again as I hover above her " did you miss Arnie? " and she seems taken aback by the question.

" Yes I did. Did you miss me too Williams? " She answers and then returns my question.

" Of course, that shouldn't even be a question "

Stretching her hands slowly towards the angle and direction of my face, I take her hand and lead it to my face.

Feeling her feathery fingers softly on my face, tracing and making each of my features.

" Where you aggrievated by my disappearance?" she asks I can feel all her breath intakes and outtakes.

" I was but now you're here and that's all that matters " I answer her question.

" I'm sorry Williams " she says to me apologetically.

" For what?, It's alright, don't apologize. You don't owe me anything " I say to her. Trying to ease the tension I ask her softly " do you want to see my album pictures with me in a buzz cut" she nods as yes and leave for the pictures.

I head back to her with a bunch of picture album at hand.

" Are you hungry Arnie " I as her suddenly out of the blue's as she looked and seemed a little bit too calm.

" No " she answers me

" Are you uncomfortable " I ask her again

" No " she answers me

" I'm going to get you a shirt of mine " I say to her

Arnie's pov

I watch him leave to get a shirt for me. I see him head back with a blue shirt at hand.

He hand's it to me

" Thank you " I say to him " you're welcome " he replies me

I flip page by page till I feel asleep on him.

" Bella you're back, you came quite early, tell Arnie to spill it "

" Spill what?" Bella asks as she takes off her shoe's..

" I don't know what she wants to hear " I answer..

" It's about the guy who dropped her off this morning "....

" Yeah that's true. Talk Arnie " Bella says turning on me....

" What! Noooooooo!"....

" Come on Bella not you too "......

" Don't not me too Arnie spill quietly ".....

" Okay I'll spill it was Williams who dropped me off last night " I spill as they ganged up on me.

" What!!" Sofie yells

" Why didn't you say this yesterday?" Bella questions

" I didn't know how to drop it "

Buzz! Buzz! Ring! Ring! The vibrating and ringing of the land phone interrupted the police interrogation that was going on.

" I just called you girls to know it's almost 8pm I hope you're already packed?" ............. said on the phone he always calls we the girls once it's almost 8 to get our shits ready for the pub. As we all are mostly late comer's. I keep forgetting his name even after all the years.

" Yes we have we're on our way to the pub "

Strippers start the mounting on poles by 10pm but we have to be their by 8pm to line and organize for the sake of peace because it could get really violent in the span of minutes.

[ " I was the one ment to mount it is my spray you're counting " an angry pissed girl yell

" You're still going to mount and people will also spray " the other girl said still counting her money

" You knew you wanted to mount early you should come early " the manager stepped in saying. Before we new it hands were flying, shoe's were everywhere, wigs were flying, girls were screaming. It was insane.

It happened way worse but..........]

We all looked at each other I believe we all remembered the incident it was hectic.

" You might have escaped from the questioning but will be back" Sofie says and heads to the room

" Exactly what she said Arnie, I'm going to take a shower " Bella says and also heads in.

I clear the living room and then also head in as Sofie and I already had our bath we pick out our casual clothes and clothes for mounting.

" Sofie do you like this romper on me?"

" Yeah it looks nice, what's wrong? You never question your clothing choice " Sofie say as he slips on a black maxi skirt and a bland white tank top to match with the art works on the black skirt the female body art work

" Nothing I was just thinking I should have more color in my wardrobe "

" Okay, but Bella told you have just having neutral colors is a criminal offence "

" I don't have just neutral colors, Bella is being dramatic " I say as I slip on my grey romper on the long sleeves draw me in everytime their also little art works on it with a black line. I drew them myself.

" You girls seem to be going for a casual look. I might have been against you sketching on this romper but I looks good " Bella says as she stepped out of the bathroom with her hand towel and another one wrapped around her

" I know " I say sarcastically.

We all get dressed quietly. Williams comes up in my thoughts would he like my dress I have to pick a lingerie set color that would draw him.......... I should pick lavender he doesn't really have a favorite color. It would be lovely. My face becomes crimson if not of the little melanin I have from my mother's side I would have been flushing red.

We're all dressed all our shits in our bag and head for the train station. Took a train and walked the remaining meters. Got to the pubs alley and walked in shuffled the shift and time and settled cleaned up took pictures with the other girls and had free shot.

Before I mount the pole I scan the pub for Williams if he's already here because he sometimes gets late and my eyes found his and it locked not knowing what to do I panic and fold and close the side curtains and scurry to get dressed................ I get dressed I touch up my makeup with the other girls that were also mounting. While dancing our eyes locked multiple times I decided not to look into the crowd.

I got done with mounting I found the table my friends were sitting at and I join them at the table.

" That's Williams right?" Sofie asks watching were the direction of my eyes was.

I nod slowly as an answer for affermation noticing there's a guy who looked familiar beside him. He whispers something to Williams and they both get up from the table and left, headed out. Which had my curiosity piqued.

" I'm going out to underground parking lot " Sofie says and we at the table

Sofie's pov

I leave for the underground parking lot, there's a toilet at the ending of the parking lot where we the girls from the pub escape to for air or to talk [ gossip ].

Slowly I walk towards my escape. I suddenly out of nowhere hear a girls muffled moan '" Ahhhhhhh, mmmphf "' a guy voice is then heard after "' am I hurting you?"' "' mmmn nmmm "' hearing this my heart race to not get caught nor spoil their good time. I scurry along. Finally I get to the toilet met some of the other girls there it was calm a little gossip happened I had my minutes so I decided to head back to the pub I see who Arnie called Williams and the calm looking guy I saw beside him who kept staring at me when I was mounting on the pole or maybe it's all in my head people are supposed to stare at me.

" You think you can just behave and act out when you want and how you like?, Well if that's what you believe then no! You must be crazy and have lost you mind " a lady's voice was heard.

I scurry quickly to hide away I don't know why instead of walking away I hide because I don't want them to see nor notice my presence. I squat silently beside a black huge G-wagon. I peek and their looks were giving not interested. She seemed to be talking to the guy right beside Williams. Who seemed like he rather be anywhere but where she is.

" So what do you want exactly?" He asks so calmly it looked as if he was talk to a child throwing a tantrum

" What ever you think you're doing quit it. There's no escape between you and I " she says affirmatively

" You're losing it. You tell me not to not choke you which I was not doing in the first place and now you're stalking me?, You need therapy did you and your little boyfriend's break up again?" He asks mockingly

" You can say what ever you want I going to make sure I crack you..... " she says and storms off

" what's wrong " Williams asks his friend

" Nothing " he says and walks away. I feel like he noticed someone watching so I scurry and passed another route or direction as the underground garage parking lot. I get to the area where smokers usually gather and it was a lot of cigarettes and smoke I'm asthmatic but growing older I usually don't take my inhaler everywhere with me but I usually have one in my bag incase of asthma attack. I try to hold my breathe as I pass through the smoke but it seemed impossible I walk a little further. I start to gasp for air and panic and a cold yet warm hand clasp bshoulders with grip.

" Are you okay Miss?" A known calm voice said to me handling me a brown paper bag which I use to stablize my breathing.

I noticed it was him to guy who the lady was yelling and ranting at.

" Thank you I need to get inside to my inhaler " I say this he then release his grip on me and clasps my hand with his and tugged me in to the pub.

" Thank you " " you don't have to thank me "

" Are you feeling better?" He asks and I nod affirmatively " you changed your hair color. I like it every hair color looks good on you."
